Called By Christ To Be ONE: How loss of virtue leads to loss of liberty

Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!

Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!

Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

How loss of virtue leads to loss of liberty

Exclusive: Joseph Farah looks to founder Samuel Adams in diagnosing Americans' troubles

What is "hate speech"?

It seems no one can agree.

Many Americans seemingly are content to debate over proverbial "how many angels can dance on the head of pin" questions, while our country is being destroyed. Our core freedom – the freedom to speak, write and think freely – is disappearing.

When debates are artificially shut down by Supreme Court decisions, like Roe v. Wade did for decades, it can complicate matters and further narrow the parameters.

The political left, which lives in a virtual debating society, seems obsessed with ending freedom of speech by deeming all contrary opinions "hate speech."

It was way back in 1982 that student protests temporarily silenced Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick at the University of California, Berkeley, and Smith College – so much so that her safety could not be guaranteed for a commencement address. She would thus be canceled.

But protests can be messy, so, with the arrival of Big Tech, the cancelers finally had a "solution," with the addition of the Deep State and the hiring of hundreds of former FBI and CIA agents that would make life easier – by covertly eliminating the First Amendment.

Clearly, this was a victory for the Left. America would never be the same again.

Those ironically claiming to oppose "hate speech" have virtually won the day.

"If you think that Americans have the right to decide who crosses their borders, you are engaged in hate speech," writes Heather Mac Donald. "If you think that doctors should be selected based on their scientific knowledge, not based on their race, you are engaged in hate speech. If you think that sex differences are written into our chromosomes and cannot be changed by fiat or by castration, you are engaged in hate speech."

"Book sellers are disappearing books, payment services are blocking donations to disfavored commentators, because those books and those commentators allegedly harm vulnerable victim groups," adds Mac Donald. "And so today the elites themselves are waging war on meritocratic standards, on our civilizational inheritance."

So, how can we restore our freedoms?

Maybe what we have to do is to take a cue from our revolutionary heritage of the First Amendment.

At least it's worth a try.

Americans did not lose their freedoms overnight. And we as Americans will not regain our freedoms overnight.

Slowly but steadily over the last 200 years, Americans have compromised the principles set forth by the founders in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Over and over again in the Bible we see what happens when the people "do what is right in their own eyes," forgetting the only rules that really mean anything – those given to us by God.

We can forget all that. We can disregard it. We can chalk it all up to legend, myth and superstition. But we do it at our risk – our own peril.

Here's what one of our founding fathers said. His name was Samuel Adams:

"A general Dissolution of Principles and Manners will more surely overthrow the Liberties of America than the whole force of the Common Enemy. While the People are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose the Virtue they will be ready to surrender their Liberties to the first external or internal invader. … If Virtue and Knowledge are diffused among the People, they will never be enslaved. This will be their great Security."
